MUSIC TRIVIA VII

61) Which rock opera did the Who compose?


The Who's Tommy is an exhilarating story of hope, healing and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired, amazed and puzzled audiences for more than 50 years.

62) Which TV show inspired Billie Eilish's first song?


"My first real song was about the zombie apocalypse actually," Eilish told Harper's Bazaar, "which is weird because it's out and nobody knows that that's what it's about. It's called 'Fingers Crossed'. I literally just watched The Walking Dead and I took little lines from it. Just watch all of The Walking Dead and you'll find some things that are in my song and some episode titles that are in my song."

63) Which Madonna song mentions 16 Hollywood icons?


"Vogue", which popularized a highly stylized dance trend known as voguing in the 1990s, contains a spoken section, in which Madonna name-checks various golden-era Hollywood celebrities.

64) Whose music catalog did Michael Jackson purchase the rights to in 1985?


During their collaboration on 1983's "Say Say Say", former Beatle Paul McCartney advised Michael to invest some of his enormous wealth in music publishing. It was sound financial advice that McCartney may have come to regret in 1985, when Jackson purchased the publishing rights to the vast majority of the Beatles' catalog for $47 million, outbidding McCartney himself.

65) Which song did Michael Jackson want to sing as a duet with Prince?


Jackson originally envisioned "Bad" as a duet with Prince, pitting the two superstars against each other in a musical duel. Producer Quincy Jones arranged a meeting, but Prince took issue with the song's opening line, "Your butt is mine." He responded to the King of Pop by saying, "Who's singing that to whom? Because you sure ain't singing that to me--and I sure ain't singing that to you."

66) Which character sings "Luck Be a Lady" in Guys and Dolls?


Before betting everything on a roll of the dice, Sky Masterson sings "Luck Be a Lady".
